First window bad fonts
I have a problem with fonts.
When I start xterm or konsole window by clicking on a launcher icon on my desktop I get window that does not understand some symbols correctly (e.g. replaces ' (apostroph) with â (\hat a) , etc. ), moreover if I try to use midnight commander (mc) then I get ugly symbols instead of lines. On the other hand, if I launch the SECOND xterm or konsole window FROM COMMAND LINE of the first window then everyting works correctly (in the second window). This irritates me very much, but I do not know how to repair it. Thank you in advance for any suggestions. |
My friend helped me to figure out what was wrong
It is a bug in the /etc/bashrc file: By default the environmental variable LANG is equal to en_US.UTF-8 (or something like this). To display fonts correctly the environmental variable LANG should be set to en_US.iso88591. To do this you should write export LANG=en_US.iso88591 in your .bashrc script. BUT! IMPORTANT! You should place this statement AFTER code if [ -f /etc/bashrc ]; then . /etc/bashrc fi (Since there is some problem with /etc/bashrc file) or you should change /etc/bashrc file if you know how. |
